Finalizing the code

[Hadiq]

I have a new built labview code which might be used by other users. Is there any way to not allow any alteration to the code.

Compile it into an exe,

Password it,

or Remove the block diagrams.

If using LV2010 check out packed project libraries.

If you go the "remove diagrams" route make sure you make a copy of your source to safely put else where, as once they are removed the diagrams are gone, gone, gone!

You certainly should be using a source code control repository!!!  you want co-developers to reuse code and you need a corporate policy on how to manage one.

Sea Story time:

As a LabVIEW noob I was part of a very small group that underwent a reorder because we were slinging wires beyond expectation.  Focus changed from R&D testing to Design verification testing of hardware.  Group grew by 200%. Management had not considered the need for source code control.... I hear you all begin to shudder and twitch as you read this.....

Needless to say our productivity started dropping by orders of magnitude.  Why, Fixing "Broke code", finding vi's that moved or were renamed, re-linking to changed connector panes.  It was aweful- if you could do it wrong we did it wrong.  We learned the value of Source Code control and library management PAINFULLY- but very well.  Do not repeat what we did.
